Not aiming
To live on
Was so tedious
To let dreaming
Look so painful
Was so troublesome

Doing nothing
Leaves me blown away by the wind
Even these tears I shed
Want to become sand
I've forgotten
My lazy days

Check it out, from anywhere,
Like the power of raised fists,
Our voices can be heard
Our shouts
Knock on the doors of your heart

We are AKB
Our passion is raised to the MAX
One day you'll remember
The emotion you lost!
Let's go!
We are AKB
Our passion is raised to the MAX
The body races
And the blood burns hot
Cut through to the future!

When you were a kid,
Rather than being chased,
You did the chasing
Since when'd you
You stopped running
And went on walking?

If something so good
Isn't there,
You hang your head low
I'm not the only one
Who gets tired
Of believing

Now I stand up here
As though something pushes me up
I feel something shaking in the ground
Somebody
Welcomes a chance to fight

We are AKB
A combination of 48 girls
We've done it all along
Reclaim that dream!
Hell yeah!
We are AKB
A combination of 48 girls
We're shining
Not because of the sweat we shed
Be because of our souls that burn

Keep on running!
We are AKB
Our passion is raised to the MAX
One day you'll remember
The emotion you lost!
Let's go!
We are AKB
Our passion is raised to the MAX
The body races
And the blood burns hot
Cut through to the future!
